Reddit mentions: The best dart shafts

Just get a new shaft. If you don't have any spares that match you can pick up sets of them for a couple bucks. They're not expensive. Maybe take the opportunity to see if you like a different style or length of shaft, aluminum ones are less likely to break.

Here's some plastic ones with lock rings for $1.91 and free shipping.

Just for example.

all shafts break or bend, they're a consumable, just like your board, your flights, and your points.

I personally like the generic machined aluminum cheapies from amazon

i usually grab the green or black ones in medium length, and try to always buy the same style, so after i have to replace a set or two , i have a full set (or more) of spares.

i also use flight protectors, less robin hoods = less bent/broken shafts.

Naaaaaah, I went with these instead cause, you know, the more money you spend the better darts you throw.

hahahah

EDIT: and they spin!!

A) Not sure why the PDC players don't use spinners, but for me, they break way too easily and make me think my shaft is loose, so I lose focus and my feel for the darts.

B) I like the Harrows Graflite flights since they last a lot longer. I also like the Harrows Carbon Plus shafts, however the tips are not as durable as I'd like.I usually get the flights for $4/set and the shafts for $7/set, so they're a little more expensive but I can make it through several weeks of darting daily with them.

C) I have no idea, I just don't like them.

they have applicators that allow your to slide them right on. https://www.amazon.com/Harrows-Shaft-Lock-System-O-Rings/dp/B0053ZIR7A/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1475095810&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=dar+o+ring
